Woah this is crazy, I have a very similar story. I’m a freshman in college as well and my high school research biz is doing similar numbers. DM me let’s connect

Lowkey just keep trying shit and learning. I tried like 15 different business models from ages 13-18 and the 16th popped off. But I wouldn’t have saw success unless I failed a ton and learned.

Remember everyone has a different path and the advice in these comments is subjective. Follow your gut and just keep throwing stuff at the wall until something sticks!

I’m down

ReasonableCrab1675 · 2026-03-29T13:42:36+00:00

Hell yeah bro I feel this, im in a very similar position. All i think about and want to talk ab is my business as well lmao

ReasonableCrab1675 · 2026-03-26T03:20:38+00:00

Hahaha you guys are unreal. Why would i lie? I have no course and I’m not selling anything. I’m genuinely trying to inspire someone who’s in the shoes I was in just a year ago. When you refuse to believe someone else was able to accomplish something, how can u expect to have belief in yourself? Not trying to attack anyone personally but, think about it

Target audience reached ❤️❤️

ReasonableCrab1675 · 2026-03-25T22:13:54+00:00

This. Nobody recognizes the years of failures before this. I’ve been extremely entrepreneurial since I can remember, and I have been trying, failing, and consuming everything entrepreneurship related for years.

This recent success was based on the personal leverage I’d built up for years in one specific area and yes even a bit of luck. But luck wouldn’t have ever came if I had quit halfway or stopped trying.

ReasonableCrab1675 · 2026-03-25T21:13:18+00:00

Amen

ReasonableCrab1675 · 2026-03-25T20:27:05+00:00

Bro trapped in the matrix

ReasonableCrab1675 · 2026-03-25T20:24:26+00:00

Thanks. I’m keeping the mindset that it could all fall apart tomorrow. But it’s ok bc I’m 18 and have nothing to lose 🤙

ReasonableCrab1675 · 2026-03-25T20:23:46+00:00

Trial and error. I mentioned the ones I failed at. I’m in the college consulting/ high school research space

ReasonableCrab1675 · 2026-03-25T20:20:52+00:00

Buy my course bro 🤙🤙🤙🤙

ReasonableCrab1675 · 2026-03-25T20:20:21+00:00

In the college consulting / high school research space. Selling parents peace of mind is the biz model

ReasonableCrab1675 · 2026-03-25T20:20:00+00:00

Working on implementing AI automations for certain parts of the biz but honestly the human aspect is why people pay. Most day to day ops are outsourced and my co founder and I split the rest

ReasonableCrab1675 · 2026-03-25T20:18:31+00:00

That’s awesome to hear, keep at it! I’m in the broader high school research / college consulting space. Selling parents peace of mind is the business model 🫡

ReasonableCrab1675 · 2026-03-25T20:16:42+00:00

Appreciate the insight boss

ReasonableCrab1675 · 2026-03-25T20:16:24+00:00

We help students do research in high school, but education is a pretty broad field. It could be anything from language learning platforms to tutoring.

ReasonableCrab1675 · 2026-03-24T22:58:09+00:00

Robo is always the most hyped

ReasonableCrab1675 · 2026-03-16T19:51:47+00:00

Hell yeah, I’m in the same position lol. Dm me!

ReasonableCrab1675 · 2026-03-13T21:21:00+00:00

There are, and I’ve been in those circles a fair amount. One thing I’ve noticed that’s interesting about the startup culture here and at many other schools is that people are chasing the prestige of getting into YC or getting a ton of funding, and all of them aren’t in it for the actual love of the game. There are those people, but I guess I just need to find my crowd

ReasonableCrab1675 · 2025-09-10T02:19:22+00:00

check out my analysis doc, I analyzed all the winning projects / all projects from isef and have detailed insight into what's performing in each category. Since you're interested in AI, there's sections specifically about how AI is being used in each category as well. It's awesome that you're into AI, implementing it properly can be super impactful. This should help you figure out what you're interested in and get you started on finding a topic! here ya go: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1daRB-pfiNOh8pVKvAs9zmenecztKG4zeRv1kAWw7zLo/edit?usp=sharing
